#27 Kathy Hannon on 28 Jul 13Kim, your site from the National Center for Learning Disabilities is one to truly keep bookmarked as a resource for parents. It is just what I would have on my parent Diigo page to educate parents about what their children deserve and what is available to them. I have the book From Emotions to Advocacy by Pam and Pete Wright and it is called "The Special Ed Survival Guide". There are so many things parents just aren't aware of in terms of how to help their children be successful in school. I love that this site offers information about assistive tech, accommodations, IEP/504 information, homework, etc! There are wonderful podcasts from the parent's perspective, as well. I remember watching a video in one of my autism classes of a woman who left teaching and became a parent advocate in the schools to help parents with children with special needs understand the system and get the services their children needed. This site does just that. Nice addition to the Diigo. Thanks!
